These look fairly life-like especially from a distance. The branches are not quite as thick as I would like. I am still trying to decide what kind of cache pot to put them in and how to stabilize them within the pot.

With the heat of a Texas summer I have been unable to successfully grow any plants on my porch and so decided to try faux plants. We will see how these work out
